Our Soldier all regret the death of our President I am very anxious to hear from you home folk. I hope you are all well and as happy as I am to night. tell Sallie I will expect to have the honor and pleasure of attending her meeting soon. Milt has given his oppertunity of writing to Mr. Gallop. as he is a married man. I am not a married man but dont know how soon I will be. but I will talk of that in the future.
